This week's meals will all come from an article published in The New York Times in 2007 titled, "101 Simple Meals Ready in 10 Minutes or Less" by Mark Bittman. I will be trying the few that stand out the most and revisit this list periodically. Who says good food has to take a long time?
Monday: Put a few slices of chopped prosciutto in a skillet with olive oil, a couple of cloves of crushed garlic and a bit of butter; a minute later, toss in about half a cup bread crumbs and red chili flakes to taste. Serve pasta with chopped parsley.
Tuesday: Put three pounds of washed mussels in a pot with a half a cup of white wine, garlic cloves, basil leaves, and chopped tomatoes. Steam until mussels open. Serve with bread.
Wednesday: Cut eight sea scallops into four horizontal slices each. Arrange on a plate. Sprinkle with lime juice, salt, and crushed chilies; serve after five minutes.
Thursday: Fast chile rellenos... Drain canned whole green chilies. Make a slit in each and insert a piece of cheese. Dredge in flour and fry in a skillet, slit side up, until cheese melts.
Happy cooking!
